Losing Trades are a Natural Part of Trading
Novice traders have a great deal of trouble accepting the notion that losing trades are a "natural" part of trading. Yet, if you are actively "cutting your losses" on trades that don't go in your favor, a losing trade can actually be thought of as a positive step, because it is the act of consistently limiting your losses to a manageable amount which allows you to keep coming back to trade another day. While losing money on a given trade is not in itself a good thing, the very act of keeping each individual loss to a minimum is a necessary step in trading profitably over the long run.
When starting out, traders often shoot for a high percentage of winning trades, even though that generally means taking profits quickly and missing some big winners. More experienced traders come to realize that the percentage of trades which are winners is often a meaningless statistic. In the end, the only thing that counts is if the amount earned on winning trades exceed the amount lost on losing trades. As long as that is the case, it matters little if 3 out of 10 trades are profitable or if 7 out of 10 trades are profitable. The key is to make alot when you win and to lose a little when you lose.

Genting Sp, share rocketed to record high on Friday with high volume after the announcement of the better than expected result on Thursday.
A big white candle occurred. This is generally considered bullish, as prices closed significantly higher than they opened. if the candle appears during a breakout above a resistance area, the long white candle adds credibility to the breakout.
A rising window occurred (where the top of the previous shadow is below the bottom of the current shadow). This usually implies a continuation of a bullish trend.

Stock Pick: GoldenAgri, AsiaFood, Broadway
Golden Agri had a bullish momentum today, surprisingly gapped up and end the day at the highest price of the day. Probably due to the rise in crude oil price there is a spike in the buying interest of the palmoil stock. If you are holding this stock, can consider to add position tomorrow if it goes above today's high.

HL Asia - Late day breakout
HL Asia - A late day break out was spotted around 4.45pm. near closing time. Price surge 3.59-3.74 within minutes! I suspect there is strong accumulation, to reason out the spike in the price today. If you have followed my previous post, I have posted this stock has a ascending triangle chart pattern, once broken it will have a high chance of going higher.
In addition, It ended at the highest point of $3.74, hence signify that there is no much seller in the market for the day, hence a bullish candlestick is formed.
I am in! =)
